Join us as we all look for our new baby calf in the woods! Spring is here and it is the start of cow calving season and gardening season on the ranch. This week our oldest Scottish Highland cow, Granny, is showing all the signs of prelabor and then breaks off from the herd into the woods and gives birth to a beautiful little heifer calf our kiddos name Susan. We also muck out the barns and move composted cow manure to our blueberry, strawberry and raspberry gardens to get ready for gardening season. The cool season pasture grasses are starting to come in and the fruit trees are all budding out. Snow melt fills our ponds and the migratory birds are making their way into our little corner of North Idaho. Tour our DIY kid play area and a DIY seesaw. Watch the wife and our oldest daughter wash (the poopy ones) and store our farm fresh eggs.

About Us: Thanks for joining us and our four homeschooled children behind the scenes as we run our ranch together and enjoy traditional mountain living. We raise Scottish Highland cattle, Katahdin sheep, Berkshire pigs, and barnyard chickens on 100 acres in beautiful scenic Idaho. We are a Christian family that drinks raw milk, raises our own meat, works with our hands, and hunt and fish together to help fill our freezer.

This channel won't be flashy or exciting. We love the beauty of old fashioned slow living as a family. From here on out we plan on posting content from our daily lives around the ranch as we cook and eat together, learn together, build from scratch, steward the land, and tend to livestock as a family. We also make and consume a lot of sourdough bread. :)
